Deadly
Not only steaming backerds, but there's an TBM/TBF aircraft landing on the LAUNCH deck with other ones stashed at the stern... but I am determined (I hope) to solve it!
I've got some old salts looking for me, so maybe between us noggins we can come up with it.
We are thinking maybe this is a ca. 1930-40 Essex Class vessel which did, I am told, have the ability to land on both ends, with arresting cables situated accordingly.
I'll get back here as soon as I get some more word, but maybe the above will help?
Great photo!
